38 EDMONTON JOURNAL, Wednesday. December 24. 1975 Announcements will be home for the holidays Most Many of Alberta's cabinet ministers are not taking off to seek warmer weather in far-off places. At least half the cabinet will be staying in Alberta over the holiday season and for the foreseeable future. Premier Peter Lougheed may be one of them but not likely.

The premier's office refused to say whether Mr. Lougheed is going to be far afield soaking up the sun, but the premier won't be at the annual New Year's Levee hosted by Lieutenant-Governor Ralph Steinhauer. Trying to get that suspicions confirmed isn't easy. The premier's spokesman refuses to say more than that Mr. Lougheed will be spending Christmas with his just take off a couple of days for skiing.

But don't think the cabinet ministers are just going to sit with their feet up, waiting for the season to end. Ah, no, it's not that easy. Mr. Hohol, for example, is going to take home a briefcase loaded with work, says his secretary. And Mr.

Schmidt has something equally important to do. He's a cow-calf operator and he's been trying to find time to fix up his corral, so there's no time like the present. Bill Yurko, housing and public works minister; Government Services Minister Horst Schrnid and Municipal Affairs Minister Dick Johnston were not available for comment. and medical care minister, is another who is guarding his destination. Wherever he's going, he leaves Boxing Day, according to his office.

And Environment Minister Dave Russell is going somewhere sometime early in the New Year. "He doesn't usually publicize where he is going," according to a spokesman. But there is a pretty fair representation of cabinet ministers not making any travel plans. They're led off by the deputy premier, Transportation Minister Hugh Horner, and include Energy Minister Don Getty; Lou Hynd-man, minister of federal, and intergovernmental affairs; Provincial Treasurer Merv Leitch; Education Minister Julian Koziak; Bert Hohol, advanced education and manpower minister jSollcitor-General Roy Farran; Al Adair, minister of recreation, parks and wildlife; Consumer and Corporate Affairs Minister Graham Harle, and ministers without portfolio Dallas Schmidt and Bob Bogle. A few ministers haven't made up their minds for sure.

Agriculture Minister Marv Moore is spending Christmas on his farm, but may be leaving the province in the New Year for a short holiday. Utilities 1 and Telephones Minister Al Warrack is also reported considering a holiday in the New Year, but nothing definite has been decided. And minister without portfolio Stu McCrae may Work Not guilty plea entered on water permit charge sewage system.

Harnois said. Hospitals are no place to spend the holidays for either staff or patients, says Bud Casey, of the executive director's office at Royal Alexandra Hospital. He said that as many patients as possible are given day passes or discharged and that the duty staff is cut by about 50 per cent Christmas Day. Board established for course advice Metis body rejects development paper A 16-member curriculum advisory board has been established by Education Minister Julian Koziak. The board will advise the minister on curriculum policies for basic education in the province and will replace the elementary and secondary curriculum boards.

"We are providing for more public participation and involvement in basic curriculum policy," Mr. Koziak explained Tuesday. Seven of the new board members will be selected from the public at large and will include an MLA. One will be nominated by the Alberta School Trustees Association. Eight board members will be professional educators: three practising classrooms teachers selected from general nominations.

In a survey conducted by The Journal, it became obvious that cabinet ministers enjoy their privacy and aren't telling too many people where they're going.

In fact, only Labor Minister Neil Crawford's office would give out any detailed information. Mr. Crawford leaves Dec. 28 for a two-week holiday with his family in Hawaii. Helen Hunley, minister of social services and community health, is going out of town, but just where is anybody's guess.

Other armed forces personnel on duty Christmas include military police and firemen, certain duty officers, airport staff to handle service flights that may be carrying army personnel home for the holidays as well as people to man the rescue co-ordination centre, Capt. Mills added.

The council paper suggested that a council committee be established to negotiate with the federal government for the transfer of administration of government resources to the N.W.T. Council, the association said. It then added: "We view this recommendation as a clear and absolute disregard and affront to the aspirations and efforts of the Dene people in our present negotiations with the federal government."

Militia seeks adoption of cap badge The first mascot cap badge designed for Edmonton's 49th Battalion has been selected by the Northern Alberta Militia District as its own official badge. Lestock, a coyote, was given to Colonel W. A. Griesbach at Waltrous, May 30, 1915, as members of the 49th Canadian Expeditionary Force, were on their way by troop train to eastern Canada prior to leaving for the European front in the First World War.

As part of the new cap badge designed in 1916 for the battalion. Lestock's face became the central part of the design, along with a windmill from Flanders. Along with Lestock's mask, the district has approved three colors and a motto for use with the symbol. In equal portions within a circle, the colors black, green and yellow represent, oil and coal, northern Alberta's forests and the gold hue of the grain fields. The motto, The People Freely Serve, indicates the volunteer aspect of the reserves.

The design is now being forwarded to Area Headquarters in Winnipeg for transmission to Canadian Forces Headquarters in Ottawa for approval as an official Canadian Forces badge and final art work. Wage jump labelled 'tokenism' The 25-cent-an-hour increase in the province's minimum wage, to become effective in March, has been labelled as "tokenism" by the Alberta Federation of Labour. AFL president Reg Bas-ken said the proposed increase to 12.75 an hour is "totally inadequate and an attempt to legislate poverty." Mr. Basken said the federal government recognizes $3.50 an hour through anti-inflation legislation, and anything less than that is not subject to the guidelines. A minimum wage of $3.50 an hour is only $7,280 a year based on a 40-hour week, and the poverty line in 1975 for a family of four is $7,028.

Mr. Basken pointed out $2.75 a hour amounts to only $5,720 a year. The jolly prosecutor LOS ANGELES (AP) The caseload was light. so the prosecutor, Robert Samoian, came dressed as Santa. He stood in a red-arid-white garb, black boots, red cap and flowing white beard as he handled three arraignments in Judge William Keene's Superior Court.

Samoian said Keene's sense of humor prompted him to add the bit of yuletide levity. The Metis Association of the Northwest Territories has rejected an N.W.T. Council political development paper. The paper advocated provincial status for the N.W.T. under one council or government "that would speak for all races and cultures in the North." The Metis Association's board of directors recently passed a resolution opposing the council paper.

The association says in a press statement that the council paper is at odds with the Dene declaration that neither the federal government nor the N.W.T. government is the government of the Dene people. The Dene are the Indians of the N.W.T. The association added that the council paper wanted the usual Canadian or English system of political Citizen support urged for games tion under the Canadian Drinking Water Standards Act. An environment department spokesman said the penalty under the act is a fine not exceeding $5,000.

They might also receive a scroll as personal proof of the part they played.

He says it's time people went out and did something, and that the Games become the property of the athletes and the citizens instead of just a focus for national pride. Hearing scheduled in slaying A preliminary hearing will be held Feb. 12 into a charge of murder punishable by life imprisonment against Lyle Thomas Defoe of Leduc.

Mr. Sheckter, appearing in court last week, pleaded not guilty and his trial date has been set for Feb. 11.

Meter installed to cut parking DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP) City Manager El-don Mariott thinks he found a way to keep unauthorized people from parking in his reserved space at city hall.

It will be this small beach community's only parking meter.

School birthday to draw 5,000 Former alderman Dave Ward is suggesting that it's time to get the citizens involved in the Commonwealth Games. In a letter to Mayor Terry Cavanagh, he suggested a few ways to both cut costs and heighten public interest. "I've been hearing since day one that we want to get the people involved, but there are only a few things that whole masses can be involved in," said Mr. Ward. "We should be looking at drawing the people into competition, for instance, in Achtem hearing in March The preliminary hearing into a charge of illegally paying a reward to a government official against Edmonton lawyer Edward Peter Achtem will begin March 22 in provincial court.

Mr. Achtem was counsel for the Alberta Housing Corporation (AHC) during development of the Mill Woods land assembly. He was charged in early November. The offence is alleged to have taken place between Aug. 20, 1969, and Nov.
